⚠️ Serious Flavor Warning: Whitetail Natural™ has extremely bold flavor.

Some customers absolutely love the intensity. Others have told us they wish they had been warned because the flavor is much stronger than they are used to.

If you are looking for a weak, quickly fading pouch, this is not it. Read the flavor warning on your selected product before ordering.

Cinnamon Apple: Extreme cinnamon comes first, gradually softens, then finishes with subtle apple.

Start with a single can in your preferred flavor and format before choosing a larger package. Review its nicotine strength, ingredients and flavor warning before purchasing.

Nicocleene™ is our proprietary blend of Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) and Alpha-GPC, used in Whitetail Smokeless Zero.

Nicotinamide is a form of Vitamin B3. It is not nicotine. Neither ingredient adds nicotine to the product.

No. Whitetail Smokeless Zero is not a smoking-cessation medication or an approved treatment for nicotine dependence. We do not claim that Nicocleene™ treats withdrawal or prevents dependence.
